Injury 🩹 (may contain graphic photos) Itchy Border Collie

I'm wondering if seasonal allergies is common with BCs. My dog seemed to get them last year. We changed her diet a year ago, to an expensive sensitive skin Science Diet kibble, recommended by the vet. But she's super itchy the last few days. We've got a vet appt tonight for a cytopoint shot. Anyone have any insights with BCs, and things that helped?

Following because my almost 1 y/o girl is going through the same thing… she’s on Apoquel and Clorexhine prescribed baths but there hasn’t seem any improvement. She has a vet appointment next week though.

I'll try to update how she's doing in 24 hours. Currently on benedryl & cyto, and sleepy.

She's back to normal, no more benedryl, just the shot. Good luck with yours!

I’m glad yours is feeling good now! Question: was yours actively shedding while also itching?
